The Analytical Research and Development of On-Line Monitoring Models of Thermal State for Turbine Rotor

Abstract:

Steam turbine units are required to start up and shut down as fast as possible to improve economy and load-response ability of the units under the qualification of safety. it is important to monitor and control thermal state in turbine during operation, especially during the process of start-up and shutdown. Thermal stresses in turbine rotor in thermal power plants are the limiting factors for rapid startup, shutdown or load change. In this paper the online calculation models of temperature and thermal stress for a two-dimensional axis-symmetric object are obtained after disposing of the nonlinear factor such as temperature-dependent properties by a transformation. The model gained can be used to analyze thermal states in thick-walled components, monitoring and control online.
